| Little Big Wheel’s new CD “Redwood” to be released on June 10th |
| Sun, Apr. 24 2005 |
| The long awaited follow-up to Little Big Wheel’s first release Home is ready for release. The recording of the new disc began in 1999 and final mixing was completed in December, 2004. The process dragged out much longer than the band anticipated but allowed something very special to be captured. Most of the initial tracks were recorded in 1999 but several new ones were added in 2004.The addition of the songs effectively captured the growth and changes that the band endured during that time. “Redwood” will be officially released with a CD release party at The Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester, MA on June 10, 2005. Pre-release copies will soon be available online. |
